The Wellness Room (formerly The Cottage Therapy Studio)

I saw Donna 5 weeks ago and followed her recommendations - I felt better within a week, I had severe symptoms (gut/bowel related), and for the first time in over 2. 5 years I have been able to leave the house without a change of clothes - it has transformed my life. I cannot thank Donna enough - I saw her again for a follow up yesterday and all the checks/readings were going in the right direction - She has made a few modifications and I will return in 2 months for my next review. Thank you Thank you Donna - you have achieved what the hospital hasn't been able to do and I am more positive about my future than I have been for a very very long time. Debby.

I visited Donna to help with eczema issues that had severely worsened and were affecting day to day life. She gave me advice on diet and lifestyle and her expertise was absolutely priceless! In just 6 weeks I have seen an incredible improvement, my skin looks the best it ever has! Not only this, a clean healthy diet has improved my physical shape and overall health, I feel the best I have in years. I strongly recommend Donna for skin issues and overall nutrition and lifestyle help and I’m excited to continue my journey.

I’ve been seeing Donna for over 6 months - I initially went to see her to identify any intolerances and for help with varying my diet having done 6 months carnivore in an attempt to curb my migraine and hormonal imbalance. Donna took the time to understand a detailed view of my health history, current lifestyle factors (including lots that I hadn’t thought about in a long time! ) current diet and life stresses. The initial assessment was lengthy and very detailed and gave an incredible informative overview on every aspect of my health and well-being. I found that my hormones were very out of balance, not helped by my high cortisol levels. Donna provided me with a plan for food, supplements and stress reduction and for the first time in my life (I am 34! ) I have regular periods. My migraines have reduced from 2-3 a week to a rare one every couple of months, and usually now because I’ve not got enough sleep! My cystic acne has cleared and a whole host of other smaller health issues are much improved along with the bigger ones. Donna’s advice has helped me be empowered to make choices that have given me the most incredible outcomes. Thank you.Moreexpand_more

I am very thankful for the support and expertise of Donna. After being diagnosed with PCOS last year and finding little help from doctors, her guidance has made a significant difference in my health. Donna took the time to listen and create a personalised plan that worked for me. Her approach, which included nutrition advice, stress management techniques, and lifestyle changes, helped me see real improvements. I highly recommend as she has truly helped me improve my well-being. Thank you, Donna for your care and support!

I went to see Donna as I had been suffering with digestive issues for many years but just recently it was becoming more frequent and impacting on my life. After my assessment, Donna gave me the information I needed, offered advice and recommended certain supplements. She even gave me advice on improving my sleep quality as I had difficulty in both getting to sleep and staying asleep. 10 weeks in and I am a different person. Problems with my digestion have resolved and I even sleep like a baby now. Just can not believe it! I am so glad I took the plunge and made that appointment it as made such a difference to me. I am so grateful.

I have been to Donna twice I feel absolutely amazing even after having my 1st treatment on my shoulders and back lower back. Suffering with pain for years. Donna is amazing goes through everything with you step by step. Can't wait for my next session knowing Donna is amazing so professional in her work. Totally recommend. Thank you so much.

My dad suffered bloating and stomach issues, he has been getting treatment from Donna since 2022 and he has come a long way and is finally feeling much better thanks to Donna! So glad we chose her for my dad's treatment as this was the best decision we ever made.

After struggling with my weight for years I went to see Donna, thank goodness I did as she detected quite a serious issue. Thankfully this has now been resolved. With all Donna's advice and guidance I've lost almost 2 stone. I'm feeling the best I have in years and so much more positive. My heartfelt thanks to Donna, I will most definitely be recommending you. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Donna! I came to see you feeling absolutely awful - I had no energy, I was full of aches and pains, and was having trouble sleeping - amongst loads of other complaints. Your lengthy assessment, along with the very detailed plan of changes to make, have quite literally changed my life. I’ve lost weight in a healthy and sustainable way, my energy levels have increased and my aches have pretty much disappeared - I feel like a new person ? I cannot sing your praises highly enough to everyone I meet - I’m sure my friends will be heading your way very soon, hoping for the same outcome - to feel like new.

I came to see Donna after suffering badly with Eczema. Donna informed me of all the things I should be avoiding in order to make my eczema clear up. Since doing this I can say that my symptoms are 90% better and it causes me no more stress! Amazing service that has changed my life - Couldn't recommend any higher!

After suffering with gastrointestinal issues and hormone imbalance for nearly 5 years, with numerous doctors appointments with no conclusions. Donna was professional and easy to talk to. In 6 months of following her dietary plans and suggested suppliments I was the best I had felt in a long time. In 12 months I have had no relapse into any IBS problems, hormones are regular and I feel amazing. I highly recommend Donna and I have personally recommended her to many of my family and friends.

For the last 34 years l have suffered with agonising stomach pain. I've had operations, tablets, xrays and seen many different medical specailist and alawsys felt l had a constant lack of energy. Donna' s changes have flipped my life around and l now understand my triggers and my food intolerances. I'm now down to my ideal weight, l have so much more energy and no more pain! And love the way it makes me feel every day. I cannot thank Donna enough for the help and support. You have changed my life! Very big thank you.

Having been passed from Dr to Consultant backwards and forwards for nearly 2 years with no answers to my stomach bloating weight gain and pain I found Donna on facebook and havent looked back. On my first appointment I was very apprehensive and did worry that she too would 'fob me off' but I couldnt have been more wrong. From the first moment I felt listened to, understood and taken seriously when explaining my symptoms. I felt like Donna was very knowledgeable and felt confident she could help me as I left that 1st meeting. In less than 4months with her help to 'reset' my body, my stomach issues have almost gone, I feel happier, healthier and have transformed myself. Without her help I know I would still be stuck in the vicious circle passing from 1 specialist to another without actually being helped. I cant recommed Donna enough-infact I have a friend going to see her in the New Year. Thankyou so much Donna. .

After seeing doctors and having endoscopies, scans and numerous blood tests, Donna found the reasons why I have been feeling so tired, putting on weight. I am highly intollerant to Dairy and Coffee. Also having long term stress she has helped to deal with that as well. I can't thank her enough for enabling me to feel normal again and after only 6 weeks have lost 2 kilos.

I went to see Donna in June last year for my first appointment, that was for the Wellness MOT. I had been suffering with a number of health problems since April and when every doctor 'fobbed me off' I turned to Donna for an answer. She was brilliant! Kind, knowledgeable and understanding. The end result was a drastic change to my diet and lifestyle to try and almost 'reset' me! As hard as it was, I adapted and the changes were almost instant. Within 7 days of seeing her and making the advised changes to me diet and taking the supplements s advised I was feeling like a new person. I went and saw Donna for follow up appointments and the difference each time was huge, my health was improving and I was feeling better. I cant recommend Donna enough for how much she has helped me! Thank you so much!

It got to the point where my stomach was bloating so badly and causing me such pain I just had no idea what I could eat anymore! I felt so awful that I decided I needed to do something about it, so after hours of researching on the internet I came across Donna and I have never looked back. Donna did all different kinds of tests on me and worked out a diet plan, which after a week of starting I could really notice the benefits. Donna’s advice is so thorough and is absolutely worth every penny, she has helped me far more than my doctor has been able to. I would recommend Donna to anyone, you wouldn’t find a more personable service anywhere else!

I'm convinced I couldn't operated at the level I do without Donna's support. I see Donna twice a year for the Scio (wellness MOT), and have done so for the past 8 yrs. I'm a competitive cyclist, training hard through the winter and racing during the summer. This takes its toll on my body. At 54, I'm experiencing the menopause, so this brings added demands. Donna has supported me throughout and can identify where my body needs help, eg with my immune system to aid recovery, and food intolerances. This means I can adjust my diet to maximise my cycling performance and minimise the risk of injury and illness. I'm always surprised how each visit identifies the need for minor adjustments, which I would never be able to identify for myself. Donna's approach brings science to my health and well-being. I can't recommend her highly enough.Moreexpand_more

I regularly see Donna to help with my stress levels, nutrition and with the menopause and Donna has helped enormously. I've always been interested in health and understanding my body, and Donna has shown me how to help myself and my sense of well being has rocketed. I realise just how important it is to understand what is going on inside and this has given me my life back. I would recommend Donna - a fabulous lady with a fabulous knowledge.

I had got to the stage where I just didn't know what to eat next because of it upsetting my stomach. I looked awful, felt awful and my hair, skin and whole wellbeing was suffering. After having a recommendation from a friend to see Donna, I decided to make an appointment. I have never looked back. Donna worked out a diet for me, which was very strict to start with, but I can honestly say I felt the benefits of it within days, it was amazing. I have completely changed my diet and feel absolutely great because of it and lost weight in the meantime without even trying. I would definitely recommend Donna and found her advice priceless.

Having suffered from gastritis (confirmed by endoscopy) for over six months without much relief from Pills provided by the doctor I decided to book an appointment with Donna. After a thorough examination of body composition, existing nutrition, and biofeedback risk assesment, she was able to tell me a lot about my body's vitamin and mineral deficiencies, body composition, stresss levels and how to overcome the affects of the latter. She devised a complete progamme of Nutritional advice along with details of foods to avoid, some quite surprising. Having followed the nutritional that she gave and included the suggested supplements in my everyday diet I can honestly say that I feel SIGNIFICANTLY better in two weeks than I had in the previous 6 months. I look forward to going back to Donna in 4 weeks to discuss progress.
